Wear it as long as you can

Will Penn said to George Fox, "Oh, what should I do?
Can I wear this sword while I serve my God too?"
George Fox said to Will Penn
"You'll know when you're through.
Just wear it, use it but don't you abuse it
Just wear it as long as you can."

"And what about words, can I speak without care?"
"Well, words can be tricky, so say what you dare.
It's spirit that calls us
more clearly than words.
So hear them, use them
but don't you abuse them.
Just wear them as long as you can.`

"And what about money,
oh, what is my role?
Can  I live in comfort
while others go cold?"
"Just realise money
is not yours to hold.
Just make it, use it
but don't you abuse it.
just wear it as long as you can."

4.
"And what about worship,
what form shall we claim?
Can preachers and silence
fall under one name?"
"God's truth can't be limited,
Love finds its way.
So choose it, use it
but don't you abuse it.
Just wear it as long as you can."

5.
"And what about love,
must I give that up too? "
What's great about love is it grows as you do.
So spend love quite freely and watch it return.
Just share it, use it
but don't you abuse it.
Just wear it as long as you can."
